Easy to copy files with illegal chars in filename from Windows to Linux

All of the search results at duckduckgo are either too old or too complicated, yet the question remains unanswered. [You cannot alter the filenames on a Windows data DVD/CD.] Simply use tar:

Code:tar -cvf ~/fubab.tar <path to windows folder containing files with illegal chars in filenames>
tar xvf ~/fubab.tarOnce the files are on your linux system, simply delete the illegal chars using rename in Dolphin.
Here's hoping someone my find this of interest.
